Read the whole thread. We fixed the issue with recursion in the
postmaster (9abb2bfc0); but the intermittent failure in infinite_recurse
is exactly the same as what we've been seeing for a long time in the
buildfarm, and there is zero doubt that it's that kernel bug.
In the other thread I'd suggested that we could quit running
errors.sql in parallel with other tests, but that would slow down
parallel regression testing for everybody. I'm disinclined to do
that now, since the buildfarm problem is intermittent and easily
recognized.
